only got to go out in the back yard today. Major overcast, sun setting fast and the rain is coming on.

Walk through the door, say hello to wife and dogs, suit up and hit the back yard. True signal (through the trash I havent been through yet) in 5 feet off the patio.

In 3 inches found this car. Dont know if it is a cheap piece or not, but I cleaned it cause it still had all the wheels, and I got 2 of em to turn!!

Inside the car says cotsietoy,... USA.

Thought is was worth postin.

Great find.

Take care cleaning the piece. Getting the wheel to turn vrs breaking the wheel off is not worth it.

Coins, cars, buttons... You never know what will turn up.

Thanks Jake for the insight,

I would probably just put this car in my finds jars and that would have been it. Since im new at this I just found that this car is the orage wedge dragster tootsietoy produced in 1972.

It has just become my, "find of the year 2005"!!! ;D

I see somethings on ebay in this condition still going for $1.00-2.00.

Amazing what you can find out there.

Thanks again
